Paul, interesting article. Those who blindly vote for a party label pimp (aka politician) seem to have a herd mentality and, most likely, an irrational fear of not belonging. Whereas the folks who haven’t developed their own personality through life experiences have become iconoclasts (aka influencer fodder). Both blindly follow without understanding what they’re following. Their takeaway is a sense of self fulfillment (which most certainly causes painful bloating and flatulence). Their intellectual overlords are demagogues having no allegiances other than to their own ego. Those who don’t fit into either category are a diminishing minority who read the heretical essays of Leviathan slayers like Finlayson (representing Canada) and Hammock (representing US), both available on Substack.
